THE THREE WITCHES
By HiBob
A dramatic adventure-comedy in thirteen tragic chapters
Chapter One: Disclaimers
This story is a multiple crossover. That means I have taken characters from wherever I felt like, and didn't care if I kept them in character or not. Some of this may be a spoiler, but them again, I doubt it.
I do not own any of the characters from the "Harry Potter" Series by JK Rowling.
I do not own any of the characters from the "Worst Witch" Series by Jill Murphy
I do not own any of the characters from the "Worst Witch" television series, as well.
I do not own any of the characters from the "Disc World" Series by Terry Prachett
I do not own any of the characters from the movie, "Erik the Viking."
I do not own any of the characters from the movie, "Little Nemo."
I do not own any of the characters from the movie, "Merlin," staring Sam Neill.
I do not own any of the characters from the movie series of "Indiana Jones."
I do not own any of the characters from the movie series of "Lord of the Rings."
I do not own any of the characters from the Book, "Lord of the Rings."
I do not own any of the characters from the television series, "Joe 90."
I do not own any of the characters from Greek Mythology.
I do not own any of the characters from Roman Mythology.
I do not own any of the characters from Egyptian Mythology.
I do not think that even half of these disclaimers are necessary.
Please note that the Unseen University will not make an appearance in this story.
Chapter One A: What's with all the stupid disclaimers?
Most of them are not necessary. Half the time, a character is merely mentioned. But I thought it would be a lot of fun just writing a long list of disclaimers. I was going to write an intro for all of the characters but that would have taken too long and with no real purpose. For example, I wrote a disclaimer for the movie, "Little Nemo." That is because I mention Morpheus, the King of Slumberland. The only reason I did this was because I know readers would see the name and assume that I was referring to Morpheus, the king of dreams, from the Sandman series by Neil Gaiman. The humor in this is that many readers will not know either source, but there you go.

Chapter One C: Prologue
This story, like all stories, starts at the beginning
In the beginning, the meeting was called to order. This meeting, however, did not take place with people. It took place with the gods. And to the gods, this all was a game. But one thing is known. When gods play games, people always suffer. And they had chosen their first victim.
Her name was Hermione Granger. And she had finished another adventurous year, her fifth, at her school. Hogwarts. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Because Hermione Granger was a witch. And the best witch in her class. And in the school.
The year had ended on a sad note. One of her best friends, a boy by the name of Harry Potter, had lost his godfather under dire circumstances.
Harry was not your usual boy. He had a scar on his forehead. A curse scar. It was given to him when he was only one year old. An evil wizard had killed his parents, then turned his wand on him. But something happened. The wizard was all but destroyed. All Harry received was a lightning-bolt-shaped scar.
The evil wizard was back and had recently tricked Harry into a dangerous action which proved to be a trap. Harry, and his friends who came with him, were saved by the timely arrival of his godfather and members of the Order. The evil wizard's minions were captured, with one exception. And no one was permanently hurt, again with one exception, Harry's godfather. Harry feels responsible for that death.
Hermione and the others did their best to help Harry accept what had happened, and she left him with, she hoped, confidence to face the future.
Now. Hermione watched as her friend left King's Cross Station with his Aunt and Uncle. She knew they despised him. Because they despised magic. But she had heard reassurances that he would be free of them as soon as possible. Saying her goodbyes, she turned to rejoin her parents. She stepped toward them and her foot landed on . . .
Grass.
